A 2D Navier-Stokes solver was developed to simulate steady,laminar flow over a backward-facing step of height h. The step expansion ratio=1/2 and the flow at the step was assumed to be fully developed, laminar channel flow. The Reynolds number for this flow was defined as Re=Uh/ν. The 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations was solved in generalized curvilinear coordinates using artificial co...

In this study for the first time a new description of compressibility factor is rendered based on the virial expansion. The compressibility factor as a function of M-factor is qualitatively and quantitatively expressed. At first, we present how may the third, fourth and higher order virial coefficients be logically ignored in order to simplify the virial equation. The results show, wh...

the compressibility factor of nonassociated chain molecules composed of hard convex core yukawa segments was derived with saft-vr and an extension of the barker-henderson perturbation theory for convex bodies. the temperature-dependent chain and dispersion compressibility factors were derived using the yukawa potential. the effects of temperature, packing fraction, and segment number on the com...

Objective(s):The aim of this study was to improve flowability and compressibility characteristics of starch to use as a suitable excipient in direct compression tabletting. Quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion was used as a crystal modification method. Materials and Methods: Corn starch was dissolved in hydrochloric acid at 80˚C and then ethanol as a non-solvent was added with lowering temperature ...

The experimental determination of protein compressibility reflects both the protein intrinsic compressibility and the difference between the compressibility of water in the protein hydration shell and bulk water. We use molecular dynamics simulations to explore the dependence of the isothermal compressibility of the hydration shell surrounding globular proteins on differential contributions fro...

SUMMARY Cumpsty and Head's entrainment method for turbulent boundary layers is extended to compressible flow using Green's compressibility assumptions. The laminar layer is predicted using Thwaites' method in the chordwise plane and the Nath method spanwise. The Rott compressibility transformation is used. The transition and wake assumptions are consistent with the two-dimensional profile drag ...

in this study for the first time a new description of compressibility factor is rendered based on the virial expansion. the compressibility factor as a function of m-factor is qualitatively and quantitatively expressed. at first, we present how may the third, fourth and higher order virial coefficients be logically ignored in order to simplify the virial equation. the results show, when the com...

The aim of this paper is to study the effect organic matter (OM) content on effectiveness soil stabilization process using biopolymer xanthan gum. Five different artificial soils with an in range 1.5 7.7% are subjected unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and oedometer tests evaluate their strength, stiffness compressibility, respectively. These results complemented by analysis SEM images. fro...
